Anushka lashed out at all the posts and allegations that dragged her name, be it then boyfriend and now husband Virat Kohli’s performance during the 2015 World Cup, or overstaying with Virat on tours more than the stipulated time authorised, or even being a part of the closed-doors meetings and influencing the selection process. She also reacted to the controversies relating to her tickets and how the BCCI seemed 'bothered' about her 'security.'  The Zero star also opened up on the row over being the only cricketer’s wife in the picture with the High Commissioner in London. 

" My name was used for false stories to make it look like the Board was being bothered for my tickets or security etc. When in reality I bought my own tickets for matches and flights and I still kept quiet. I was asked to stand in a group photo by the High Commissioner's wife despite my hesitation to be in it and a huge issue was created over this blaming me for intentionally wanting to be a part of it and the said event, even though I was invited for it. An official clarification was issued by the Board on the same and I still kept quiet," she wrote.

She also added, “Today, I have decided to speak up because somebody’s silence can’t be taken as their weakness. I am not and will not be a pawn to be used by anyone’s thoughts or beliefs or agendas and next time you want to use my name to discredit someone or the board or even my husband, do it with facts and proof & leave me OUT of it. I have led my life, built my own career with utmost dignity and I am not going to compromise that for anything. Maybe, it’s hard for some to believe that, because, I am a self-made, independent woman who only happens to be the wife of a cricketer."
